Question

My query

select state,count(*) from crm_lead group by state;

which return

state   count
done    794
open    560
pending 3
draft   8
cancel  1

but sometime when I have no ‘cancel’ task in my table

state   count
done    794
open    560
pending 4
draft   8

I would like to include count = 0 in the result, what is the best query ?

Answer 1

SELECT  a.STATE , 
        COALESCE(b.count, 0) AS Count
FROM 
    (
        SELECT 'done' AS STATE
        UNION
        SELECT 'open' AS STATE
        UNION
        SELECT 'pending' AS STATE
        UNION
        SELECT 'draft' AS STATE
        UNION
        SELECT 'cancel' AS STATE
    ) a LEFT JOIN 
    (
        SELECT  STATE , 
                count(*) AS count
        FROM    crm_lead
        GROUP BY STATE
    ) b ON a.STATE = b.STATE
